HACK 1
Lockdown dawned the realization upon us, how annoying those overgrown roots can be, causing constant itching and making one look shabby. With no hopes of a visit to the barber anytime soon, we need to tame these babies at home.
TRIMMING is essential. Though it isn’t advisable to give yourself a full haircut at home, you can give yourself a salon-quality trim (about 1–3 inches) off of the ends.
STEPS:
- For girls/women; shampoo your hair, towel dry, disentangle damp hair, comb backward, divide your hair into 3 sections, tie the first two sections in ponytail away from the back of your head. Make a scissor-like motion with your index and middle finger and slide it through your hair, comb your hair once again. Using a scissor, cut the hair one inch from the ends.
- For boys/men; a trimmer will do the work.
HACK 2
Bored in the house? Why not try some cool curls? Let’s convert some pencils into curling irons.
STEPS:
- Shower and towel dry your hair, until damp. Separate small sections of your hair, coil the hair around the pencil. Twist the pencil in 180 degrees motion so that it doesn’t slip off your hair. Wrap other sections of hair similarly.
- Leave the pencils for about 2 to 3 hours. For tighter curls, you may leave it overnight.
- Remove the pencils from your hair one by one. TADAAA!! Cool curls for your pajama party are done.
PRO TIP: take smaller sections for better curls!
